Does Nexium cause weight gain? Does it affect Bone density and what can be done if it does?

I've been on Nexium for 4 months and was prescribed it because I was prescribed Arcoxia. Have always had acid reflux and it's definitely helped with that and I don't get any effects from the Arcoxia. I went off both for a week and then back on both again and noticed weight gain in the wk, also stinging pain on my stomach and Pain in throat & chest plus burping. Have read it affects bone density. Thanks in advance for any answer! ☺

Arcoxia has a history of causing complications such as edema in some patients. BUT, yes, your problems seem to have come from taking the Nexium. You may want to talk to your Physician, and you are so welcome :)

I'm taking nexium a d zantac 500 for gerd. I'm noticing weight gain sounds like nexium is doing it I don't have the acid indigestion mine is in the chest area and throat makes aniexity kick in any answers?

Memes; does the doctor know you are taking both of these at the same time and for sure the 500mg of zantac that is quite a bit over the normal dose period call your doctor and make sure your supposed to be taking all of this something does not seem right Chuck1957
